Perfect activity for a... - Perfect activity for a school trip where the students go off on their own. Educational, great food from different cuisines, excellent guide, nice group of people (I was traveling solo). I will go back. Exactly what I wanted.

Fantastic! Must-Do Food Tour in the South End - We booked a private food tour for a group of seven adults ranging in age from 30 to 67, and everyone absolutely loved it! While we originally hoped to bring a few young kids along, the tour company advised against it—and in hindsight, we’re so glad they did. This experience is definitely geared toward adults who can appreciate the history, stories, and ambiance of the South End’s restaurant scene. Our guide, Katie, was wonderful! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and had fascinating stories about the restaurants we visited and the neighborhood itself. Even the locals in our group who are from Boston learned something new and had a great time. Every restaurant we visited was fabulous—the atmosphere, food, and drinks were all top-notch. This tour is a great way to experience some of the best dining spots in the area while also soaking in local culture and history. Highly recommend!

An amazing time - I've lived in Boston most of my life and yet I know very little about it. My cousin was visiting from Florida for the weekend and I decided to book a couple of tours for her enjoyment because I'm not really the type to venture out. To my surprise, I loved every second of it. The weekend turned out to be sunny and a perfect day to stroll around the neighbor and especially tasting different dishes I would have never attempted if it wasn't for this tour. Our tour guide was amazing. It was a lovely experience. I am looking forward to do tours real soon.

Just ok. - Tour guide Jess was great and told us a lot of history about area. I book a food tour in each city we visit and I found the cost for this one high and the portions very small. Also no interaction at all with restaurants except to bring us food. This was quite different from other tours I have done in New York, New Orleans, Croatia etc where restaurants come out and share history etc. Again guide was great but food was meh.
